Chris wrote a few steps to describe how carbon circulates between the ground and living organisms.
Step 1. Plants absorb carbon dioxide in the air through photosynthesis.
Step 2. Dead plants are broken down by decomposers.
Step 3. Carbon stays in the ground for long-term storage as fossilized carbon.

A. More carbon is stored in plants for long-term storage.
B. Less carbon is available for long-term storage in the ground.
C. Less carbon is stored in atmosphere instead of plants.
